     strchr(const char *s, int c);

     char *
     strrchr(const char *s, int c);

     int

     strerror(int errno);

     size_t
     strlen(const char *s);

     char *
     strpbrk(const char *s, const char *charset);

     char *
     strsep(char **stringp, const char *delim);

     size_t
     strspn(const char *s, const char *charset);

     size_t
     strcspn(const char *s, const char *charset);

     char *
     strstr(const char *big, const char *little);

     char *
     strtok(char *s, const char *delim);

     char *
     strtok_r(char *s, const char *delim, char **lasts);

     char *

     char *
     rindex(const char *s, int c);


DESCRIPTION

     The string functions manipulate strings terminated by a nul byte.

     See the specific manual pages for more information.  For manipulating
     variable length generic objects as byte strings (without the nul byte
     check), see bstring(3).

     Except as noted in their specific manual pages, the string functions do
     not test the destination for size limitations.

STANDARDS

     The strcat(), strncat(), strchr(), strrchr(), strcmp(), strncmp(),
     strcpy(), strncpy(), strerror(), strlen(), strpbrk(), strsep(), strspn(),
     strcspn(), strstr(), and strtok() functions conform to ANSI X3.159-1989
     (``ANSI C89'').  The strtok_r() function conforms to IEEE Std
     1003.1c-1995 (``POSIX.1'').
